BTW, is there plan to move 4.4 kernel?
I think so. I'd like leave this question to John or Amit to answer.
The Reference Platform is already on 4.4 with the 16.03 release. So now we just need to make sure it works with u-boot. It was only tested with UEFI for 16.03 but u-boot-support is planned for 16.06.
Some updates for uboot booting on Hikey:
- I tried below images, which can boot successfully with uboot: ARM-TF: https://github.com/96boards/arm-trusted-firmware.git, branch: hikey U-BOOT: git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git KERNEL: https://github.com/96boards-hikey/linux; branch: hikey-mainline-rebase
I also tried above combination and it can boot well. But it still has some issues: 1. multi cpus still can come online 2. The defconfig has no emmc support and doesn't detect the emmc. Could you share me with your kernel config against this branch? BTW: do you know what difference between branch 96b/releases/2016.03 and hikey-mainline-rebase? I found hikey-mainline-rebase is more stable than 96b/releases/2016.03 when booting with u-boot. For hikey-mainline-rebase, it can boot to mount initrd. And for 96b/releases/2016.03, it hangs at somewhere.
If I change to use kernel branch 4.1 for android, then cannot boot:
ARM-TF: https://github.com/96boards/arm-trusted-firmware.git, branch: hikey U-BOOT: git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git KERNEL: https://github.com/96boards-hikey/linux; branch: android-hikey-linaro-4.1
When jump from uboot to kernel, there have no output. I also checked has enabled earlycon. So Amit, John, do you have any suggestion for this?
I cannot reproduce Liming's panic;
panic only happens on 3.18, just as mentioned in my first mail. You can try “https://github.com/96boards-hikey/linux tag 96boards-hikey-15.11"
- There have one potential issue for uboot. Uboot will overwrite dtb's
memory node in the function *arch_fixup_fdt()*; so if we want to reserve memory regions in memory node, it doesn't work after the overwriting by uboot.
I will look into and try to fix it; If you have any suggestion let me know.
OK, my current target is to boot 4.4 kernel with u-boot. Thank you for your great help.
BR, Liming Wang
